Hello everyone,
I have a quick question about the select command in ksh. I am using it to define a menu for user selection, I have found that the REPLY var contains the input from the user, I was interested to find out if there is a system variable that contains the whole menu as an array, the reason being that I would like the user to be allowed multiple selections from the menu, at that point all of those would be in $REPLY as a sequence of numbers, still I would like to resolve those numbers to what selection they all were in the menu.
I hope you can help.
Thanks.
Why don't you define the menu in an array before invoking select and using the array as the argument to select?
